What do we know about fear

Video-projection and 600 glasses filled with water. Pinspots.

The video projection shows zebras filmed in Tanzania as they approach a waterhole. In the vicinity but outside the picture are crocodiles and lions waiting for their prey. The zebras are very nervous but need the water. They move back and forth trying to decide if it’s safe to drink. Different motions passes through the group. If one of the animals makes a sudden move they all move.
